So what happens to Radish?

Like all members, his name should also become "Radish". I have nothing against Radish (he's one of the few good mods around here) but he is a member and all members must obey the rules.

We do not allow members who have had warns to change their name.

So wait; If you HAD a warning, you cant change your name?

If so, another stupid Neowin rule :rolleyes:

There's a grandfather rule in effect... if you had the name before the rule was decided upon (and you haven't changed since) you get to keep it.

If so, another stupid Neowin rule :rolleyes:

IIRC, once the warn goes down to 0% with the auto reduction system, I think you're allowed to change again, but IANAM.

I've got a warn and I want to change my name... I just accept that I can't because whining isn't going to do a damn thing about it except put you in a bad mood with the mods.

By your logic, all blacks would still be slaves. Hell your scared of "whining", so I guess Martin Luther King and all those other people that have stood up for human rights shouldnt have whined

When something is wrong, its plain wrong. And letting yourself be controled by a rule that says if you have been warned once (20% I believe it is) and it gets removed and you still can't change your name, that basically makes this site very unlogic.

Altho the admins can do whatever the **** they want, some rules just aint right.

Woah, woah woah woah woah.

Comparing getting a warning to slavery? Erm, yes, of course.

I'm not even going to try and have a mature discussion if you're going to be throwing that one around.

Its not the comparing the "happenings" its comparing the "idea" behind it...

If you have 0%, you can change your name. End of story.

To all changing their display names... do not include special characters such as TM's, ?'s , other characters not found on a standard keyboard, etc...

is ? a restricted char too?

I'm guessing yes:yes:es:

I also had a question but didn't want to create a new thread...

Now that the [ and ] character quote bug has been fixed, is there any way to allow for these in display names again? It's not that big of a deal, but I kind of wanted a display name using those...
